Beloved Soul Tribe,
You are invited to gather with us beneath the energy of the Lion’s Gate Portal, a time many ancient and mystical traditions associate with heightened clarity, courage, remembrance, and alignment with Infinite Loving Intelligence.
Every year as we approach 8/8, we enter what has become known as the Lion’s Gate Portal. Whether experienced through astronomy, ancient mystery traditions, numerology, or the sacred language of symbolism, I have always felt this to be a time when the rhythms of the cosmos amplify what is already awakening within us.
The number eight carries profound symbolism; turned on its side, it becomes the symbol of infinity, reminding us of the eternal dance between spirit and matter, the seen and unseen. This portal does not ask us to become something new, but invites us to release what has obscured the truth of who we have always been.
Held on sacred land surrounded by trees, water, and the living presence of nature, this gathering will offer a space for purification, prayer, connection, and remembrance. Kambo ceremony will begin at 9:00 AM, followed by Bufo at 12:00 noon. Our Bufo ceremony will open with a guided meditation accompanied by sacred sounds, lovingly served by our brother Neil, helping us settle into the body, quiet the mind, and attune our hearts to the amplified energy of the Lion’s Gate Portal.
Together, we enter ceremony with devotion, allowing what is ready to be seen, felt, and released to move through us. As we close, we do not rush away. We remain together on the land and by the water, sharing food, reflection, and the medicine of community. There is something powerful about gathering in this way, where healing is not separate from connection, and the medicine continues to move through our laughter, our stillness, and our presence with one another.
You are welcome exactly as you are.
About the Medicine Path
The medicine calls to those ready to listen beyond the mind, into the quiet places where old stories, emotions, and patterns have lived beneath conscious awareness. These sacred Earth teachers work not only with the body, but at the roots of imbalance, gently revealing what has been held so it may be witnessed, released, and met with love.
Kambo offers a path of deep physical and energetic purification, supporting us in clearing stagnation and returning to greater vitality and presence. Bufo invites us beyond the limitations of the individual self and into direct communion with the infinite, where separation may dissolve and the remembrance of our divine nature becomes available.
Within the amplified energy of the Lion’s Gate Portal, our intention is to consciously release what no longer serves and create space for greater courage, clarity, alignment, and embodied Love.
If you feel drawn to connect with the frog or the sacred toad, I welcome and honor you on this path of communion with Spirit. Together, we release what no longer serves, creating space for renewed vitality, radiant light, and divine remembrance to flow.
Thank you for honoring the call and loving yourself enough to walk this journey.
Important Information
Fasting & Preparation
Kambo: Fasting is required. Please do not consume food or liquids for a minimum of four hours before your ceremony.
Bufo: Light fasting is recommended. You may eat something light, such as eggs or fruit, earlier in the morning, but please avoid food for three to four hours before ceremony.
For additional information regarding Kambo preparation, please visit www.IAKP.org, where I received my practitioner training and certification.
What to Expect
Kambo ceremony will begin indoors at approximately 9:00 AM. Water will be provided for the treatment. If you prefer to bring your own structured or purified water, you are welcome to do so; you will need two liters.
Bufo ceremony will begin at 12:00 noon with a guided meditation accompanied by sacred sounds, lovingly served by our brother Neil. This opening journey will help us settle into our bodies, quiet the mind, and attune our hearts and intentions to the energy of the Lion’s Gate Portal before entering ceremony.
Bufo will be held outdoors in our backyard or on our private sandy beach, weather permitting. We are surrounded by several acres of forested land, offering space to rest, reflect, and take a dip in the creek following your ceremony. Please bring a swimsuit and towel if you feel called to enter the water.
After ceremony, we will gather for a small potluck to share food, reflection, and connection. Fruit and snacks will be provided, and you are invited to bring a dish or snack to share with the tribe as we gather and integrate.
What to Wear
Ask yourself: How would you dress for a date with the Divine?
When I began working with these medicines, it was customary to wear comfortable white clothing as a representation of purity and peace. While wearing white is not required, I invite you to choose clothing that feels intentional, comfortable, and easy to move in. Please keep in mind that your clothing may become dirty if you are physically active during your journey.
What to Bring
Water or a water bottle
An extra change of clothes
Journal and pen
Swimsuit and towel
Blanket or cushion to sit on
Fruit, snacks, or a dish to share with the group after ceremony
An open mind and heart ❤️
Integration
One of my earliest teachers shared with me that ceremony does not end when we leave the ceremonial space. The spirit of the medicine remains alive within us, continuing to move, teach, and unfold through our everyday lives. In many ways, leaving the circle is where the ceremony of your life truly begins.
Because I deeply care about each of you and your soul’s journey, I offer a complimentary Zoom integration circle to everyone who participates in our group ceremonies. This is a sacred space to gather, share what is arising, and receive support as you continue walking with the medicine and gently weaving the experience into your daily life.
Your Zoom link will be sent by text approximately one week after our group prayer ceremony.
